Stephanie and Steve wondered if I’d be willing to drive over to some railroad tracks, where they frequently go for walks, for their engagement pictures. They didn’t know that I love railroad tracks. They asked me at one point if I had ever taken engagement pictures on a railroad before. Only once: 16 years ago, when I took pictures that Bonnie and I would use for our engagement pictures.
So we met at the tracks at the end of a week, at the end of a day, on the kind of early spring evening where one might–lured by the clean, crisp blue sky after a rain–go out to take pictures, not quite prepared for the chill in the air. As best they could, Stephanie and Steve ignored me, and just walked along the tracks, occasionally stopping to look across a field or watch the sunset, relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company.
